Ingredients :
- 6 large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional for a milder flavor)
- 1 small carrot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sweetcorn
- Optional: chopped bell peppers, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped (substitute with parsley or chives if preferred)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (can use cheddar or another type of shredded cheese)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions :
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with paper muffin cups. This ensures that the omelet muffins don’t stick to the tin after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the six eggs and beat them until well combined. The eggs serve as the base of the omelet muffins, so ensure they’re thoroughly mixed to create a smooth texture.
- Add in the chopped onion, green chili (if using), chopped carrot, sweetcorn, and any additional vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or broccoli.
- Stir everything together to evenly distribute the veggies throughout the egg mixture. The combination of these veggies adds color and nutrition to the muffins.
- Next, season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Feel free to add more spices or herbs if you like; a pinch of paprika or oregano can give it an extra kick. Stir the seasoning into the mixture to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Once the vegetable and egg mixture is well-combined, fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- The cheese not only adds a delicious flavor but also helps to bind everything together and creates a nice creamy texture when baked.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows space for the muffins to puff up slightly while baking.
- If you prefer, you can top each muffin with a little extra cheese for an even cheesier finish.
- Bake the omelet muffins in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are firm to the touch and lightly golden on top.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.
